“I just want to say my son came home everyday with a huge smile on his face and so many stories of his favorite things from the day…Thank you so much for the memorable summer fun.” — Parent of a CCC Summer Camp Scholarship Student

At the Chehalem Cultural Center, we firmly believe that finances should never be a barrier to anyone experiencing art. That’s why, since art classes were first offered at the CCC, no scholarship request has ever been denied. This continues to be our commitment to our community and, with your help, one we intend to keep.

In fact, since 2021 the CCC has given out $77,000 in scholarships to 678 students in our community.

Over 300 Campers will join us at the CCC this summer - here’s a glimpse at some of what they’ll need to express their creativity!

$15 covers a pack of 40 washable markers

$50 covers Model Magic clay (a camper favorite!)

$75 covers 15 packs of googly eyes

$150 covers 75 washable watercolor sets

$170 covers tuition for one-week of half-day camp

$200 covers us with colored craft paper and keeps our tables clean throughout camp

$250 covers tuition for one-week of full day camp

“I have so much gratitude for the CCC because of the scholarships available which help me access such a life-giving practice and awesome community.” — Adult Student Who Received a CCC Scholarship

We work to keep art accessible for all because:
Participating in arts programs shows significant improvement in conflict resolution, future orientation, critical response, and career readiness.*
Participants most involved in cultural activities are 50 percent more likely to be involved in other (non-arts) community activities and are more than twice as likely to volunteer.*
Participating in the visual arts for as little as 10-weeks has been shown to increase the resiliency and neural connectivity of the brain, making for increased self-awareness and better memory processing*
9 out of 10 say the arts increase their connection to community*
